Who Let Him Cultivate?!-Chapter 666 - 665: Moving Clouds and Bringing Rain
Daoist Buyu, the Sect Master of the Seek Dao Sect, was a writer, educator, and author of works such as "Dragon and Phoenix Transformation," "Two Thousand Years of Prison Environmental Change in the Great Xia Dynasty," "Wish Granting Technique: Local Edition," and "Legend of the Dao Seeking Sect." He took on four disciples, namely the strongest contemporary figure Yun Zhi, the foe of the Buddha Country Ye Zijin, the enchantress of demonic sounds Gan Tian, and the Young Sect Master of the Heavenly Court Sect Lu Yang.
His educational contributions are eternally immortal and will be remembered by history.
In an unrefined moment, a quarrel broke out between him and the Ancient Ancestor of the Phoenix Clan. The confrontation escalated into a physical fight. Daoist Buyu was overpowered by the Phoenix Clan’s Ancient Ancestor and passed away at over two thousand years of age, much to everyone’s satisfaction, with universal celebration ensuing.
…
Time flow resumed.
Daoist Buyu and Gold Clan Leader were beaten to within an inch of their lives, thrown onto the rooftop by Jiang Lianyi to prevent them from tripping passersby.
Daoist Buyu was mostly perplexed, wondering who could have leaked the information about the "Dragon and Phoenix Transformation"?
Big Brother, Old Two, Old Three, Xiao Zhi...
The scope was too broad, and they all had motives. It was difficult to guess.
The Gold Clan Leader felt wronged. Why should she be beaten up for being the other woman? Just because she looked easy to bully? Find your next adventure on novelbuddy
From the few words uttered by the Phoenix Ancestor, could it be that the Seek Dao Sect was established by the Ancient Heavenly Court?
This would also explain why the Phoenix Ancestor was a guest elder of the Seek Dao Sect.
However, judging by Daoist Buyu’s expression, he was unaware of this fact. Could it be that this was a secret even the Sect Leader didn’t know of?
This was a secret indeed, a fearfully secretive Seek Dao Sect that seemed like one of the Five Great Immortal Sects to the public but was all an act.
What a terrifying thought to maintain such an act for a hundred thousand years.
Maybe he should persuade the Ancient Ancestor not to go it alone. She could either join the Qilin Immortal or ally with the Heavenly Court Sect.
Jiang Lianyi glanced at the Gold Clan Leader who was lost in his wild thoughts but didn’t pay much attention to it.
With the imprint of the Dao Fruit Outline, no matter what he knew, he wouldn’t be able to divulge it. There would be no leakage of secrets.
...
Chunjiang City.
Lu Yang sat beside Shi Chan, waiting for business to come their way.
Today his luck was good; it wasn’t long before someone approached them.
A handsome young man sought out Shi Chan with a request, "Master, do you know how to make it rain?"
"Amitabha, naturally, I possess the skill to call forth rain," Shi Chan replied.
"Then can you make it rain heavily tomorrow evening for me? The price is negotiable," the handsome young man pleaded eagerly, having finally found a master who could make it rain.
"Before I agree, what is the reason you seek such a rain, Benefactor?" Shi Chan asked.
Not daring to lie to the Master, the handsome youth explained, "Tomorrow, a dear female friend and I have a date. I thought if a heavy rain were to suddenly fall in the evening and neither of us had brought an umbrella, we would surely get soaked."
"This would give me an excuse to take her to a nearby inn under the pretense of changing clothes, which would facilitate ensuing developments," he added.
Shi Chan joined his hands together and advised, "Please go back, Benefactor. This act is unvirtuous. I implore you to desist."
Still hopeful, the handsome young man implored, "Master, you name your price, I can give you any amount of Spirit Stones."
"This is not a matter of Spirit Stones, Benefactor. Please go back," Shi Chan insisted.
Seeing Shi Chan’s resolute stance, the young man had no choice but to leave disappointedly, seeking other experts capable of cloud manipulation.
"Fairy, can you make rain?"
"Who can’t? Although raining is a method of the Dragon Clan, the principle is quite simple. Even you could learn it," the Fairy replied.
"What’s your suggestion?"
"The simplest method is for you to fill a storage ring with water, then fly up into the sky and toss the ring into a watering can. If you activate the storage ring through the watering can, it’ll be just like making it rain."
"If you think one watering can isn’t enough, you can use several more."
Lu Yang nodded, "That does sound pretty simple."
It didn’t even require a magic skill, so there’d be no risk of learning it incorrectly. The only downside was the extravagant use of storage rings and watering cans.
"All rainmaking methods evolved from this principle. Take for instance the time when Immortal Jiuchong became immortal—the heavens rained sweet dew, golden lotuses sprouted from the earth, sounds of the great Dao resonated, accompanied by all sorts of chaotic celestial phenomena, making a humongous racket as if he were afraid others wouldn’t know he was the first to become immortal."
"Later, he told us the truth. The so-called heavenly sweet dew was actually just him storing sweet dew in a watering can, which he then doused over himself after he became immortal."
"As for the golden lotuses springing from the earth, he planted lotus seeds in the ground and used the ’Tree Planting Spell’ to expedite their growth. Cultivating these golden lotuses took many precious spiritual materials to successfully induce the mutation of the green lotuses."
"About the sounds of the great Dao, that was a bit more complicated. He secretly collected the calls from various clans and mixed them together. That way, no one could distinguish what the sounds of the great Dao really were; they would only feel that the sounds were formidable."
"In order to conjure so many extraordinary phenomena, he almost drained all his resources. It was purely for saving his face, but he suffered for it. You see, when I became immortal, there were no special phenomena at all, just plain and clear."
Lu Yang: "..."
Immortal Jiuchong, if you heard that, it was Fairy Eternity who spilled the secrets, and debts have their creditors. Please don’t come after me; I’m just an onlooker.
Soon, a young man dressed as a scholar approached, though he appeared somewhat haggard.
"Master, can you expel ghosts?"
Shi Chan nodded; this was Buddhism’s forte: "Of course, has your home been troubled by a ghost, Benefactor?"
"It might be, but I’ve never actually seen it."
"What happened?"
The scholar explained with a worried frown, "Every night while I’m deep in sleep, I always feel like there is someone near me, yet when I open my eyes, there is nothing to be seen. This has been happening for a long time."
"I’ve also sought help from several masters. Either they leave empty-handed or they leave a protecting talisman behind when they go, but none of it has had any effect."
"I’ve even reported it to the authorities, and indeed calling the officers worked. The ghost wouldn’t appear when an officer came by, but as soon as the officer left, I would feel someone’s presence next to me again at night. An officer can’t stay by my side every night."
"Last night I was tormented by a ghost and felt drained of energy. I bought a 300-year-old glossy ganoderma from a friend to replenish my vitality. The friend who sold the ganoderma recommended you, Master."

"May I ask who your friend selling the ganoderma is...?"
"It’s Brother Zhong Ming. He said he just sought your help a few days ago for exorcism."
"I see, that did happen."
Shi Chan stood up, gathering his belongings: "If that’s the case, then this humble monk and two Senior Brothers will go and take a look."
"That would be wonderful," the scholar beamed with joy.
"May I have the honor of knowing your name, Benefactor?"
"My name is Xu An."
"So you are Benefactor Xu."
Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou, finding that there was finally some serious business to attend to, also packed up their things and followed Shi Chan, curious about the situation.
On the way, Xu An gave a brief introduction to his circumstances. He was a scholar with a wife. Xu An’s parents had passed away early, leaving him a substantial inheritance that allowed him to live without financial worries. His greatest aspiration was to study the classics diligently, top the imperial examinations, and honor his ancestors.
Xu An led the three through several alleyways: "We’re here."
Xu An’s residence was no smaller than that of Zhong Ming, which made sense considering anyone who could afford a 300-year-old glossy ganoderma that had survived Thunder Tribulation must indeed be quite wealthy.
